The Tamper is a tool that baristas use to 'compact' the coffee in the basket to prepare an espresso.

Why does it compact? This is done because the water passes under pressure and if the coffee were loose it would pass very quickly and burn the coffee without extracting its compounds for a good drink.

Over-compacting (using a lot of force) is also not recommended because the water will not pass through the coffee pod and burn.

El Tamper es una herramienta que utilizamos los baristas para 'compactar' el café en la canastilla para preparar un espresso.

Porque se compacta? Esto se hace debido a que el agua pasa a presión y si el café estuviera suelto esta pasaría muy rápido y quemaría el café sin extraer sus compuestos para una buena bebida.

Sobrecompactar (usar mucha fuerza) tampoco es recomendable porque el agua no pasara por la pastilla de café y se quemara.

They are available in various materials, Steel, Plastic, Teflon and Wood. All of them fulfill the same function so choose the one you like best. (Change there are a variety of colors and models)

As we could see this is an essential tool when making coffee in an espresso machine, so if we think about working in a coffee shop we must get used to its use.

Los hay de diversos materiales, Acero, Plástico, Teflon y Madera. Todos cumplen con la misma función así que elegid el que mas os guste. (Cambien hay una variedad de colores y modelos)

Como pudimos ver este es un utensilio imprescindible a la hora de realizar café en una maquina espresso, así que si pensamos trabajar en una cafetería debemos acostumbrarnos a su uso.
